Hazard identification
Record the activity, the hazard, the people exposed and the situation observed, using a structured template.
Risk assessment
Risk assessment that stays close to the work
Assess hazards with a method your team recognises. Record the risk level, the controls and the person responsible, then route the assessment for approval and create actions where the risk needs work.
Risk, connected
Assess the hazard, name the control, assign the owner
Give HSE teams a repeatable method and give managers a clear view of the risks and controls recorded for each activity.
Configurable risk matrices
Use a 5×5 matrix or configure severity and likelihood labels to match your methodology and risk bands.
Risk level and controls
Record probability, severity and risk level alongside the prevention and control measures for each hazard.
Hierarchy of controls
Classify controls from elimination and substitution through engineering, organisation and PPE, and assign a control owner.
Review and approval
Route the assessment for approval and keep the decision, reviewer and signature with the record.
Risk reporting
Review assessments and risk levels by site and activity, and generate a PDF or Word report from the completed record.
A method people can repeat
The assessment names the control and the owner
A team assesses a maintenance activity. Each hazard is recorded with the people exposed, the probability, the severity and the resulting risk level.
The control measures are classified, assigned to an owner and given a due date. The assessment is approved and kept with the site record, so the method is consistent the next time the activity is reviewed.

- Controls with an owner and due date
- Approval and signature retained
The risk lifecycle
Scope, identify, evaluate and control
A repeatable method for HSE teams, with a clear record for operations and review.
01
Scope
Define the site, activity, assessor and the boundary of the assessment.
02
Identify
Record each hazard, the people exposed and the situation observed.
03
Evaluate
Score probability and severity, set the risk level and record the controls.
04
Control
Assign control owners and dates, approve the assessment and create actions where needed.
FAQ
Risk assessment: frequently asked questions
Can we keep our existing risk matrix?
Yes. The severity and likelihood labels and the matrix data are configurable, so the assessment can follow your current method.
Does it use the hierarchy of controls?
Yes. Controls can be classified as elimination, substitution, engineering, organisational measures or PPE.
Can a risk assessment create an action?
Yes. A field such as risk level can be configured to show an action control. A user can create a follow-up action with an owner and due date, and controls can also carry an owner and due date.
Can assessments be approved?
Yes. Risk assessments use the approval and signature process, so the reviewer and decision are retained with the assessment.
Can we use it across multiple sites?
Yes. Assessments are recorded against a site, and permissions can limit each team to the sites it manages.
Can we generate a report?
Yes. Completed risk assessments can be exported as PDF or Word reports and reviewed alongside the site record.
